Episode Title: Most Entrepreneurs Fail Because of THESE Hiring Mistakes
Episode Overview:
The success of your business isn’t just about strategy or effort—it’s about who you choose to build with. Hiring the wrong people, partnering with the wrong individuals, and surrounding yourself with those who don’t share your mission can drain your energy, slow your progress, and even collapse your business.
In this episode, we dive deep into how to identify the right people, test their commitment, and spot pretenders before they waste your time. Using real-world examples—including the 2004 Detroit Pistons’ legendary team culture—we’ll uncover what separates high performers from dead weight and how to build a team that accelerates success.
Key Discussion Points:
🚩 The 3 Biggest Hiring Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make – And how to avoid them.🔍 How to Test if Someone is Truly Invested – Simple but powerful ways to assess commitment.💡 The 2004 Pistons vs. the Star-Studded Lakers – Why culture beats talent every time.⏳ The “Dog on a Nail” Story – Why some people complain but never take action (and why you should avoid them).🔥 How to Spot and Attract the Right People – The work ethic, mindset, and habits of winners.
Practical Strategies to Build a Winning Team:
